was irregular and contrary to the Franco
German frontier con invention of 1877, and on
this account will release Schnaebele when
letters alleged to have been written by

essary to arrest a large number of people who
were demonstrative. Jennie Bowman Is
much worse tonight, ana 1t is hardly hoped
that she will recover.
$50 a. m.-Shortly after | o'clock mob OF
500 men and boys armed with section OF
telegraph pole, marched to charge the iail.
Thirty police met them at Fifth and Jeffer-
son streets. After an order to disperse was
disregarded the police charged and
the mob scattered in all di-
rectons. Several policemen were struck
by stoues, but not seriously injured. About
ten of the mob were arrested and some
found to be armed. The mob are again
gathering in large numbers on Jefferson

hammers, organized and started for the jail.
They seemed determin ined and appear to have
the leaders now. 1t has not reached the jail

At 3 a. m the mob moved on the Jail again.
They reached the guard line, where scrin-
mage took place and several shots were fed,
but no one was hurt The mob then started
toward the armory, three squares distant.

Balfour, chief secretary tor Ireland, of gross
ignorance respecting the state of that coun-

A DARING TRAIN ROBBERY.
Bold Thieves Make Successful Raid OF
the Southern Pacific
ONLY ABOUT $4,000 SECURED.
The Express Messenger Forced to
Open His Car or BE Blown
Up by Giant Powder
The Escape.


SAN FRANCISCO, Aprill 2S--The Evening
Bulletins special from Tucson, Ariz., gives
the details of an nudacious train robbery Of
the west bound overland train on the South
ern Pacific railroad last evening. The train
was stopped at Papago station, eighteen
miles east Of Tucson, about 9.30 in the even
ing by a red signal light Distractions had
been placed on the track so In case the en-
gineer failed to stop 1t would be derailed.
From five to eight men were engaged ia the
robbery. immediately on the train stopping
a dozen or more shots were fired into tho ex-
press car and an armed man boarded the To-
comotive to watch the engineer. Failing
to get open the express car door,
the robbers placed stick of giant
powder under it and compelled Engineer
II arper to light the fuse. To avoid
being blown up the messenger opened the
door and the robbers took possession Of the
car after eXtinguishing the fuse. They un-
coupled the engine, baggage and express
cars from the remainder of the train and
made the engineer get of. The robbers then
pulled out six miles toward Tucson. Here
they killed the engine and left it, During
the run they went through the express car,
but did not get more than $4,000 of express
money so far as ascertained. They got two
packages of railroad money amounting to
500, and also two packages of postage
stamps The express messenger saved
$1,000 from the robbers by hastily hiding it
in the stove. Nothing was known of the
affair in Tucson until after midnight, when
telegram was received from PantauO, q
brakeman having walked back eight miles
to that place. An engine was sent down
and the train was brought In this mornins.
None of the passengers were mOlested and
some of them knew nothing of the trouble
until after the arrival at Tucson. Nothing
has yet been discovered that would lead to
the identity of the robbers. They are thought
to be discharged railroad employees, as their
actions in handling the train showed they
were familiar with the work. The United
States marshal sent for troops to Fort Lowell
and thirty-live soldiers are now securing the
country, A party of Indian trailers are also
out. A reward has been offered by the
Southern Pacific and express companies ag-
gregating $1,000 fur each capture.

MEXICAN MINES.
Rich Discoveries Made in the Inter-
est Of ChicaROana.

CHICAGO, April %. - Special Telegram TO
the BEE. l-Interviews with the ChlcagOans
whom recent dispatches associate with the
discovery of valuable mines in Mexico con-
firm the reports. A dispatch from the City
of Mexico states that two of the seven
legendary mines from which the Spanish
conQnerors drew inexhaustible quantities of
gold and silver until driven out by the In
dians two centuries ago, have been found by
an exploring party sent out by a Sonora COM
pany two years ago, and prove to be fully as
rich as even the legends has them to be. In
under the laws of Illinois and Mexico, and
the charter members original intention was
simply to reclaim and survey 15,OO0,0O0 acres
of fine grazing land contained in three dis
tricts. The concession obtained from the
Mexican government was that the company
was to be granted one-third of the land sur
veyed and mapped and the right OF working
any OF the mines discovered. The
GSeapso One Sfr' Sf them mGs ssd today
"Yes, believe implicitly the statement that
our men have discovered the Guyanopa and
Layona mines, as we were assured they
would from advices received from our head
ago. We have spent a great deal of money
in our work in Mexico during. the past two
years But am we'll assured the return we
will get is underestimated rather than over.
During the two years we have had thirty-six
men in the district, with W. J. Glenn and
Lieutenant Flipper, OF West Point fame, in
command. The party underwent hardships
and dangers enough to furnish food for q
library Of dime novels. They were driven
back to Nogales four different times, but:per-
severed until four months ago they com
peted their work by reaching the
extreme southern limit Of Guya-
nopa, where in the Businesses of the
Sierra Madre mountains they stumbled on q
party then divided under the command of
Lieutenants Flpper and Glenn, and the re-
suit Is that the Sonora company is richer by
two mines-one silver and the other gold.

from the Sonora branch Of the AtchisOn,
Topeka Il Santa Fe railroad. Lieutenant
Flpper is now in the City of Mexico, and
we expect him in Chicago very soon."
